need help desperately!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write a word problem describing the time it takes to complete an activity individually and with a friend. For example, if John takes 2 hours to mow his lawn and it takes his sister Maria 4 hours to mow the same lawn, how long would it take John and Maria to mow the lawn together? Write a rational equation based upon the word problem you created. The rational equation based upon the scenario above would be one half plus one fourth equals one over x.. Each fraction represents the amount of the lawn mowed in one hour. The fraction of one half is John’s portion. Maria’s share is represented by one fourth. The time it would take for both of them to mow the lawn is represented by one over x. Solve the rational equation. Show your work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same. Math is my hardest subject right now. Everything else is mostly easy. And I'm in 8th.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm so A rational equation is an equation in which one or more of the terms is a fractional one. When solving these rational equations, we utilize one of two methods that will eliminate the denominator of each of the terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you understand how its written out sorry they website kinda messed up spacing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay back to the question...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have a partner cause it says you need one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heres what i came up with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it takes mom 3 hours to clean up the whole house. And it takes her my dad 9 hours to clean up the whole house, how many hours would it take them to clean up a house together? (1/3) + (1/9) = (1/x) (1/3) (3x) + (1/9) (x) = (1/x) (9) (3x/9x) + (x/9x) = (9/9x) 3x + x / 9x = 9/9x – insert the parentheses (3x + x) / 9x = 9/9x multiply both sides by 9x: 3x + x = 9 4x = 9 x = 9/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that answer question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm maybee
